amplification

some sage over on the yahoo.charango site suggested using a tie clasp type microphone that would amplify both the singer and the instrument. seems an ideal solution: nothing modern sticking out of or attached to the instrument. anyone with any experience of this? - bill = and thus i

Dear Diann, There is a fair amount of organisation in the five extant lute books of Edward Paston. For example, Lbl Add. 29246 begins with two-part pieces, then three-part, then four-part, etc. As far as key is concerned, Lbl Add. 29247 has a lot of pieces in sharp keys, whereas at least some

Michelangelo Galilei's 1620 book is organized by key, perhaps into suites of a sort, though they tend to consist of of toccata followed by a bunch of voltas or correntes. To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html

A question for you all. I don't understand the grouping by key. I understand that in a mean temperament there is a matter of key, although with equal temperament it shouldn't matter. Since the lute manuscripts are written in tabulature the absolute key should be a matter of tuning the instrument

Allan, I have had a lot of surgery in recent years, and it started with a bit of gangrene in 1998 (I was a bit ill advised in trying to cure an ingrown toenail while a bit drunk, forgot to sterilize the instrument). Let me state one thing for your support. Pain is transient, even if it is 24/7.

Bill, The best way to amplify is to have a good hall, and in the absence of that to capture the audience. I confess that I used a microphone some forty years ago, but it was set at least five feet away so as to just amplify the overall. If the sound doesn't carry then just sing softer. If they
